In this episode, I'm sharing the presentation I did for the Latinas In Podcasting 2024 Virtual Summit where I shared my signature conversation, Your Mindset Is More Important Than Your Mic. I always say that mindset is the fuel to podcasting. Although your mic is where it starts, your mindset is what keeps you going! I created this presentation for Latinas In Podcasting just before I launched this podcast. In many ways, this was where it all started! The 2025 Virtual Summit takes place ...

What’s your podcast why? In this episode, I sit down with podcaster, author, and authenticity coach Lisa Kirkman (Big Gay Overalls, Authenticity in Action) to talk about how knowing your why—and staying authentic to it—will carry you through times in podcasting when you think you have to do things like everyone else. This conversation will remind you that podcasting doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be (authentically) yours. follow Lisa at lisakirkman.com.au and Big Gay Ov...

If you're in a creative slump lately, you're not alone. I've spent the last seven months* of the year podcasting at the slowest pace ever. After chatting with some podcast friends, I realized they were also experiencing the same thing. There is so much going on around us that it's hard to feel creative and inspired. Thanks to a handful of batched episodes, the frequency of my podcasts haven't been affected too much, but now I'm out of batched episodes and still low on creative energy. ...

Today's episode* is a casual chat with my dear friend (and fellow podcaster and writer), Julio Olivera (co-host, of The Contrarians podcast). The Contrarians podcast is a show where Julio (he/him) and his co-host, Alex Mattis, take on popular opinion, trashing movies everyone loves and praising movies everyone hates, and is currently celebrating it's 10th year! No small feat. Julio met during our screenwriting days at AFF (Austin Film Festival) and it was during that time I learned about t...

Even after five years of podcasting, mistakes happen — like forgetting to select the right mic (noooooo!). In this behind-the-scenes episode, I share an embarrassing tech blunder, what I learned from it, and how I salvaged the audio.

It's never too late to start podcasting. Both myself and my guest, Jen Vertanen (Be. Dare. Create.Your Best Damn Lifepodcast), are over 50 and doing the damn thing! In this episode, Jen (she/her) talks about why podcasting is a true labor of love. We also dive into the permission she gave herself to stop podcasting when it simply wasn't fun, and the permission she gave herself to come back to it when she was ready. She also shares the importance of allowing yourself to have fun, ...

With some minimal editing you can create a more enjoyable listening experience for the listener. Granted, there's a learning curve, but small efforts will make a big difference and they're worth learning. Don't let the word "editing" scare you. Basic skills are easy to learn and some software (ex. Descript, Riverside) will do a lot of the heavy lifting for you. Your podcast does NOT need to be perfect, so don't get caught up in a perfect edit. Just focus on a few key things. Th...

This is a podcast for podcasters about podcasting! When I first started podcasting, I had questions about things microphones, recording software, and editing. As I got past the basics, I realized that showing up behind the mic was about more than a great microphone. My mic, podcast host, and editing software made my podcast POSSIBLE, but they aren't the things that keep me going when podcast struggle gets real. One of the things that has helped me the most has been connecting wit...
